hi there

LADYLAWYER :

Well good evening! I am happy to answer this for you! An assault conviction in Maryland can result in either a misdemeanor or felony, as described in Subtitle 2 of Title 3 in the Maryland criminal code.

Customer:

ok, go on

LADYLAWYER :

Maryland state code ß 3-202 defines first-degree assault as causing serious physical injury to another person. To clarify, state code ß 3-201 defines “serious physical injury” as creating a significant risk of death or protracted or permanent disfigurement.

Customer:

ok, go on

LADYLAWYER :

It can also include delivering an injury to another individual that results in the impairment or loss of a bodily function. Further, any assault that includes the involvement of a firearm, regardless of the severity of the resulting injury, can be defined as first-degree assault in Maryland.

Customer:

ok, go on

LADYLAWYER :

You are not guilty of this.

LADYLAWYER :

I will, thanks!

LADYLAWYER :

:)

LADYLAWYER :

Maryland state code ß 3-203 covers second-degree assault in Maryland, which is legally defined as causing any type of physical injury to another individual. It can also be defined as causing a physical impairment to another individual, with the specifics open to interpretation by the courts.

Customer:

ok, so you are telling me that i have nothing to worry about? correct?

Customer:

am i guilty of anything?

LADYLAWYER :

As far as assault goes, no, you have nothing to worry about.

LADYLAWYER :

They could try to seek an order of protection against you.

LADYLAWYER :

But that is not criminal and you would not be arrested.

Customer:

great, so an idle threat is nothing for me to worry about then?,,,,,,,, so the only thing they could do is get a restraining order against me?

LADYLAWYER :

I would go ahead and file your employment lawsuit as you don't have anything to worry about here.

Customer:
